Practice question
At pre-trial the parties negotiate several proposed admissions. The court’s unsigned draft lists them, but the accused rejects one and signs no final agreement. The prosecutor calls every proposal binding. Which is best?
- A proposal is not automatically a compliant admission; the written agreement and required signatures must establish what was accepted
- Every negotiation is irrevocable upon being mentioned
- The prosecutor’s recollection alone supplies both signatures
- The court may deem any desired proposal a guilty plea
- No pre-trial process may ever narrow issues
